"All teachers have gone out of their way to make our son welcome and feel part of the school community. We were new to the school in 2021, coming from an old school with friendships and bonds left behind. From day one, St Thomas made him feel like he had been there from the beginning. I remember driving to school one day, nearing the end of the first term at St Thomas and asking him whether we made the right decision moving him and if he missed his old school. He replied, ‘Mum St Thomas is the best school ever! I wish I started here when I was in kindy!’.

"The motto, "Mates Are Thoughtful, Engaged and Safe" is instilled in the students from the beginning. My kids are very happy at St Thomas and we believe that the values and behaviours learned at school are going to take them far in life"

"I love the way each of our son's teachers have connected with him and have worked him out from day one. They have challenged him, and made him take ownership for his learning journey and most of all connected with him to make him feel like he can be himself."
